I was born in Sante Fe, NM but grew up in many places, mostly among the farms and vineyard of California’s San Joaquin Valley. I raised a family in the Colorado Mountain town of Steamboat Springs, and now reside in rural Weld County, near Ft. Lupton, where I create Feather Blooms floral designs in my home studio. 

I’ve been making hand crafts of all kinds and selling them at arts & crafts shows for many years, but my work took on an entirely new dimension when I discovered that I could make these amazing, exquisite flowers from the natural Feathers of the Ring-necked Pheasant.

The development of my Feather Blooms art began when one of my hunter friends showed me a pheasant pelt and I saw the marvelous array of intricate patterns and brilliant colors among the feathers. I am pleased that the uniqueness and quality of my pieces has allowed me to display my work for others to enjoy.

Feather Blooms

           A Feather Bloom is a hand-crafted “flower” made from the feathers of the Ring-Necked Pheasant. The feathers reveal a multitude of colors, some with an iridescent glow – all revealing their own natural beauty. To make feathers into flowers, each pelt is meticulously hand-washed and dried for cleanliness and to bring out the natural brilliance of the feathers.

           “Making Feather Blooms has become my passion. Maybe you can envision one of my creations in your own home or to be given to a close friend as a gift. I hope you enjoy seeing the Feather Blooms as much as I enjoy making them.”
